Wheathampstead

Workshops

We run short term Workshops, of one to four weeks, on subjects which may be new to you or where you want to brush up your skills. They all take place at the Chapel Halls or the Marford Memorial Hall and are usually from 10am to 12noon on a Monday or Tuesday morning.

You only pay for materials, plus tuition when it is provided by an outside organisation. Normally the workshops are run by fellow members of our u3a.

Wheathampstead u3a Workshops

All members receive an email four weeks before the workshop and then respond to the Committee Lead for that workshop subject. Places, normally for around eight participants, are then allocated on a first come, first served basis.



In the future we are planning workshops on Art, More Computing, Scottish Dancing, Sugar Paste, Canasta for Beginners, Cryptic Crosswords, CPR and Yoga.
